4) Need a Lifeline of Prayer?
Missionaries need — and don’t always receive — consistent spiritual and emotional support from their supporters. But, it’s not for lack of caring. Too often, barriers of time, distance, and inertia prevent closer, more meaningful relationships. Prayvine seeks to bridge that communications gap by providing missionaries and their supporters a private, digital gathering place to facilitate stronger ministry partnerships. Centered around prayer and online community, Prayvine equips missionaries with the ability to send engaging updates less likely to be lost in the sea of cluttered inboxes, mailboxes, and social media feeds. And, Prayvine gives missionary supporters the tools they need to engage their ministry partners and the broader Church community also supporting them. For more information, click here: https://www.prayvine.org/ And by the way, it’s operated by people we trust – and it’s completely free of charge because of donations of others. It’s the real deal.

10) Resources to Help Afghan Peoples Everywhere
Since September 12th or so, we’ve all ached at the transition in Afghanistan. This culminated recently when Open Doors released their “Top 50 Countries Where It’s Most Difficult to Follow Jesus” and North Korea was moved out of spot #1 for the first time in recent memory. In its place – was Afghanistan.
